Episode 148 - Unlocking the Mystery of Autoimmune Diseases with Dr. Jockers: What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You!

Did you know that there are over 100 autoimmune diseases?
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks the body's
tissues. Understanding the root causes and how to adopt effective
management strategies is critical, given their high prevalence
worldwide.

Dr. Jockers, a leading expert in natural medicine and functional
nutrition, joins me today to discuss the complexities of diagnosing
and treating autoimmune diseases. He underscores the role of
lifestyle changes and functional medicine in managing autoimmune
conditions.

We’ll also discuss the importance of healing the gut, managing
chronic inflammation, eating a healthy diet, and addressing chronic
infections and toxic exposures to manage autoimmunity.

Whether you are dealing with an autoimmune condition or supporting
a loved one through it, this episode will empower you to take
proactive steps toward better health and recovery.
